Driver's License

Renewals, Change of Address & Replacements

Renewal of your Operator's LicenseYou may renew your license up to one year before it expires. Medical reports are also required for holders of Class 1, 2 and 4 licenses and for all licenses with a condition code "C". Any license that has been expired for more than 3 years will be subject to passing the written and road test again before reinstatement. You will need the following to renew your license:

Change of Address for Driver LicenseYou will be required to provide acceptable identification (e.g. AB Health Care Card, Birth Certificate, etc.) in addition to the driver's license. There is a fee for the change of address service and for printing the new card; however, it may be possible for you to renew your license at the same time, in which case you will only pay a renewal fee.

Replacing Lost/Stolen Driver LicenseIf your license has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, you may apply for a replacement by visiting a registry agent in person. You will be required to prove your identity through a strict identity confirmation process. You will receive an interim license, valid for 30 days. Your new card will arrive in the mail within two weeks of your application date. Please contact us directly for more information.

Please note that a registry agent will retain and destroy your old license and provide you with a temporary interim license to use until your new license arrives in the mail (10 business days). This interim license will not have a photograph, so it is recommended that you carry some other form of photo ID (e.g., passport) if you anticipate requiring photo ID during this period.
